Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: Charter fees include insurance: yacht hull and machinery, third party liability and sea pollution.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~40 HP engine burns roughly 3.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 67 L ≈ €131 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

Besides one certified skipper, your co-skipper either holds a sailing certificate or signs a short statement at the base declaring open-sea experience to assist the skipper. No proof of that experience is required.

End cleaning is obligatory and paid in cash when you embark. It covers cleaning the yacht, a spare bottle of cooking gas, and blankets, pillows, pillow cases, bed linen and towels (one set per person per week).

Yes, optional extras such as a local skipper, hostess or SUP can be arranged on request. They are not part of the base charter fee.

We run a 24-hour emergency service for all charters, so you can reach us at any time if you need help while sailing.

Please check that no personal items are left behind at check-out. If our team finds anything, we will let you know as soon as possible and arrange how to return it, though we can't be held responsible for lost items.

Tucked into a deep natural bay in the southern tip of Lefkada, Marina Syvota is one of those spots that feels almost too good to be real — crystal-clear water, green hillsides, and waterfront tavernas practically spilling onto the dock. Read more →
